The best in my opinion. 100% PROFESSIONAL!! Great instructors, staff and service! There is no other place Id want to learn from! Im beyond happy to be earning my PPL from my new Fly Carolina family! Highly recommend!!

Nice airport (Concord)! Great planes (little old, but safe and reliable)! Amazing instructor (Connor)! I never had any issues with anything yet. Will definitely update again after I get my license.

Awesome school, great instructors, and great fleet! All of the instructors I met and flew with at Fly Carolina were very knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. I got my Private Pilot License with Chad the lead instructor. Chad is a great guy, awesome pilot, and huge aviation fanatic. I would highly recommend him or any of the other instructors at Fly Carolina for anyone looking to get flight training. All of the instructors I flew with had the utmost integrity with my investment, almost as if it was their own. Allowing me to schedule on my own time, cancel if I needed, and making sure that every moment spent in the plane was maximized to the fullest. My only complaint about Fly Carolina is that they don’t accept student loans. They will help you with financing options where they can though. Really enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend.

I had to switch from a different flight school midway through training and Chad at Fly Carolina took me under his wing and helped me get my license. I had to leave the area and only had 3 months to accomplish all of the training necessary but Chad was willing to fly as much as necessary and help with ground instruction. We’re it not for Chad and Fly Carolina I would not have fulfilled one of my dreams. Great aircraft and great instructors!

I moved to Charlotte in February 2020 for work. I was searching for a flight school and instructor to start my commercial license. Fly Carolina had a nice fleet of airplanes, including two 172 G1000s based at JQF. I was introduced to Chad when I went to visit the school and he was very engaged in our first conversation. He said he could meet my schedule with no issues and I could tell he had a real passion for flying. It would be the first time I had an instructor that was younger than me, but his professionalism and aviation knowledge surpassed any initial concerns. We were able to progress through training very efficiently and I passed my commercial checkride in just 7 weeks.

BEWARE!!! Lack of plane availability and constant maintenance issues. Inept Management. Poor customer service.You are absolutely only a number to this company, they do not care about their students or club members, just the money that they provide. The Monroe location is second in importance to the Concord location and such planes will be taken from Monroe and sent to Concord and reservations will be cancelled with no warning.The manager for the location is very inept and now does not even live in the country and because of this is very hard to get in contact with, but it appears that this is the point. There are very slow responses to complaints/questions and a total lack of care or sincerity from management when finally addressing issues.The planes are in OK shape (they are safe to fly, just old), but are down for maintenance issues very frequently. There are then large delays in getting the planes to the maintenance facilities which causes HUGE reservation/scheduling issues.2 stars are given only because of the good quality of flight instruction that is given when you are actually able to get a reservation. However, instructors have been leaving due to the same issues (plane availability, inept management, etc).My suggestion is to go to Aerowood, which has a much better reputation and business model. I do not recommend FlyCarolina for anything other than casual flight instruction. If you are looking to become a professional pilot, stay away from here as you will be wasting a large amount of time sitting on the ground instead of flying.

Rates are too high and aircraft are not maintained to a standard I find acceptable

The instructors and aircraft Ive seen are top notch!!

Tons of fun!
